    Default I too can relate---just the way it is----

Well, I live on a gravel road and this was one of the biggest reasons I bought a Spyder. I've ridden Harley's for a long time, but quit riding when I built a house out in the country. Dumping an Ultra on a gravel road just didn't sound like a good time to me. The longest stretch to get to hard surface is about 3/4 of a mile. Am I destined to have a broken down bike all the time? I was all excited to get back in the saddle.

    I can so relate---I wanted a Spyder--bought one- and live on a gravel road. I got 10 to 15 mph max until I hit black top--which is about a mile. I have not gotten my Spyderpops Missing Rock Guard put on yet, This weekend though, and I have heard a couple of rocks get crunched in the belt. Mainly cause where I live they are too cheap to use heavier gravel for the county roads. Anyways--I keep hoping for a miracle and dust control to be put down on our roads. Someday, when enough rich people move out by me I guess. Just use good judgement and you'll be okay.

    Updated with a few additions.

    Missing vent (that was never missing)
    Toolkit location (for those that didn't read the manual)
    RT Nanny-Code retrieval procedure (Jerbear reminded me I only had it for the RS)
    Complete instructions on pre-setting radio-stations (Badazzsydee discovered the manual's instructions were incomplete)
    ...and couple other items.

    Hope it helps!

    Ride often, safe, and alert!
